Fashion Week - OVER -

Wow.


What can I say? Fashion week is over, and with it- one of the busiest weeks in my career! I wasn't only shooting fashion week, I was working with Gilles Bensimon Director of Elle and shooting four of my own magazine editorials. That, my friends. In a lot of work.

Wow.

So fashion week is over. It was an amazing experince in and of itself. What a mix of celebrities, models, makeup artists, fashion commentators, bloggers, editors. Everyone. Simply everyone is at New York Fashion week. And it's seven days of runway, hustle, chaos, drinks, parties, fashion, laughter, yelling, work and shooting that leave you totally exhausted by the end.

I'm not sure how to best sum up the entire experince except to say that I really do love New York City. It's a great place to live and work, although I'm not sure if it's totaly for me - just yet. Eventually all fashion photographers go to New York. It's our Mecca. But the trick I think is all in the timing of exactly when you go in your career. I think you either go at the very start of your career, or somewhere later in your career. I think at the moment I am between these things. I am a working professional, but having not started in the New York market, if I were to suddenly move there, I would be devoid of the connections and the networks I would have built had I started there. That said of course, I'll have to build these networks at some point. But I would feel more comfortable moving first to new york with more editorial under my belt. Your work will speak for you, even in new york. Thus the new goal:

Shoot editorial.
